Dio Tribute "All the Fools Sailed Away" Song Discussion

Great post max.

The 44.1 Khz thing was mentioned in the original thread about the tribute, and I will now make a rule that must be followed in order to be included in the final album.

EVERYTHING WILL BE RECORDED, MIXED, RENDERED ETC. IN 44.1KHZ 24 BITS

There, a million possible problems solved
 
Before answering your post, I must say that I do apriori respect all you, guys, who form a team we're working in right now. I want us to elaborate the superior quality material. And I hope we'll do it together, helping each other.

1)There is no need in a producer, there is just a need in discussing every single aspect of collective work. I do personally receive 44 k projects much more often, especially in audio (not video) production. You know, mp3 and CD's are 44 k. As well as most of the sample libraries. There are virtual keyboard instruments that do not work in 48 k and so on and so on. So 48 as the audio production standard is something new to me.

2)Now, about "ignoring" my question. My question WAS ignored, because you did not answer anything before tracking guitars. Just thinking something and doing what you think is right actually means ignoring:) Not a big problem in this exact case, but makes our collaboration a little less pleasant:p

My question about tempo appeared when I was programming drums and i noticed that DIO version is a bit faster in the beginning. And it gives it more drive and life. I do not insist on it, it is just my point of view, but it should be respected.

3)Ok. Now when we have shared our opinions, let us discuss another important thing, and let us do it right now. Who's gonna mix the entire thing? If it will be me, then i need guitars in 44k. If it will be Raptor7, then ok - I'll track vox in 48k.

Let's think how will we chose the mixing dude:) First of all - who's willing to do it (who's wlling MORE)? Second - who's doing it better. Third - who's less busy.

4)What was your gear chain for tracking guitars? It is interesting to know.

Hi
1) OK, no problem, you are the gurus here, I am only a guitar player.

2) As I said I didn't ignored it< i and the rest just didn;t answered it which is another thing anyway. I was thinking about it for myself and thought I will give it a try first before answering.

3) You do it.

4) Schecter Blackjack 7 > BSS AR DI > TS8 > Rev II Mesa pre > impulse ( standard 4x12)

Here's one mix with your drums. I still have to do the clean in the middle though. Guitars are doubletracking, no editing

Very well, if other members will not mind, I'll mix.
I liked your guitars. Won't you mind giving me the tracks without the impulses? I'll do some reamping through my cabs for you to chose. If you'd prefer to stick to these impulses - it's ok, too.

It's ok , man, sure thing.
 
Once bass is done I'll lay the leads down. I've already loaded the tempo map from the GP tab.

I'm seriously considering tracking it with two/three different pickup selections, just because *shrug*.. I'll be sure to include DI's incase Max wants to reamp..

Question, did we ever decide on the Keys for this song?

Hey Paulie! The melody itself is just what is needed, i like the vintage feel in it - the song totally belongs to the 80's and i think we should leave something from that atmosphere.
Can't wait to hear the "final" tone.
What's your guitar chain?

I'm almost ready to do the vocal takes and i'm eager to lay my hands on your guitar and bass tracks and begin mixing :Smokedev:
 
The chain is G&L USA Strat -> Peavey Vypyr (Recto Model) Direct Out -> MOTU 2408

Not the greatest chain, but since I'm in an apartment I can't mic it up and blast it, haha.

I'll keep tweeking it and inlcude some DI's so you can reamp if you want to. Still working on the solo and stuff I'm keeping some of the original but adding some of my own as well.

I thought the rhythm tracks posted earlier where the final tracks?

Other than the pre-interlude clean parts, any news from Raptor on those?

-P
 
Awesome, I think that's all we had left, dunno if Max has finished vox, though..

-P
 
Paulie!: gonna sing some final back vox this evening ^_^ hope i'll show you the result in several hours
damn, i can't wait to mix it.
we've still got no rythm gtr tracks as well, hope we'll have them in time too
